Even if you’ve never had braces or aligners, your daily habits can impact the position of your teeth. Here are five common habits that might be affecting your smile:
- Nail Biting – It puts pressure on your teeth and can lead to chips or shifting.
- Using Teeth as Tools – Opening bottles or tearing packages stresses enamel and alignment.
- Teeth Grinding (Bruxism) – Often unnoticed at night, it causes gradual movement and wear.
- Chewing on Hard Objects – Ice or pens can slowly misalign your bite.
- Poor Posture – Believe it or not, chronic slouching can alter jaw alignment.
With the help of clear aligners, mild misalignments caused by these habits can often be corrected non-invasively.
